"Made in America"
May 26 – June 16, 2012
Opening: Fr, May 25, 7 pm
Fr, May 25, “Take a Dream on a Sunday“ by ANNA BROMLEY, 8 pm, 9 pm, 10 pm
Live Speech Act Reenactment (part of the month of performance art)
“The Power of Word, Thinking, Love, and Anger in Relation to Site, Political Action, and Utopia“ At the junction Randolph and Desplaines Street, the Haymarket Square, in 1886 battles were fought, from which the May 1st emerged as a celebration of labor. It was fought for the enforcement of the eight-hour day. The “Haymarket Riots“ were brutally suppressed. “Made in America“ is a track from the Jay-Z and Kanye West published hip-hop album “Watch the Throne,“ which appeared in 2011. Along with Warren Buffet, Jay-Z is one of the richest men in the United States. He is of African-American descent, grew up in the ghetto of Brooklyn NY, and – with his colleague Kanye West – has discussed the pride to, have “made it“ in America. To me, the title “Made in America“ represents the contradictions of the “American Dream“.
“... Word, Thinking, Love, and Anger in Relation to Site, Political Action, and Hope“ Linda Weiss specifically felt the need to make political action a topic because the appropriation of politically won progress by conservative forces creates frustration and needs a response. She explored this in the former photo-piece "Sunset Bullet Time (Rockefeller Center NY) – To Think the Outside (Power)" in 2010. She has continued her exploration on site and political action in Chicago at Lincoln Square. Therefore she uses the historical matrix in relation to current policy as a metaphor for the asserted audacity of hope. On the platform of Dank Haus Chicago, situated close to Lincoln Square, she takes a shot-by-shot panorama. The pictures are intercut with quotations from the text “What I See in Lincoln's Eyes,“ written by Barack Obama.
“... Word, Thinking, and Anger in Relation to Economics, and Empowerment“ Anna Bromleys performance "Take a Dream on a Sunday" looks at how humorous presentation methods have become a mainstay of organizational management. Wit, authenticity and coolness make for diffuse and contradictory capital in the contest for highly specialized assignments and positions. They should act immediately, be entertaining (in a virtuoso manner) and generate desire. An approximately 15-minute reenactment of a speech act will explore the connections between humor and status, hierarchy, and power. "Take a Dream on a Sunday" is part of a long-term investigation of humorous presentation methods used in sharing knowledge.
Linda Weiss studied Fine Art in Nuremberg, Berlin (Free Class) and Leipzig. She completed her studies in 2006 with an MFA at Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig. She lives and works in Berlin and Leipzig. Linda Weiss will be artist in resident in Moscow at Multimedia Art Museum and House of Photography. The Scholarship has been funded through the Berliner Senatskanzlei für Kulturelle Angelegenheiten (Senate of Cultural Affairs Berlin).
Anna Bromley is an artist, writer and social scientist. Starting with affective breaks in empirical research methods, her reenactments of speech acts look at the power of speech acts to constitute reality. Her essays, short scenarios, and visual essays appear in international publications. She invites artists and researchers behind transdisciplinary auditory projects to discuss their work in her monthly radio program "Lautstrom" on “reboot.fm”.

Fr, 25. Mai, “Take a Dream on a Sunday“ by ANNA BROMLEY, 20 h, 21 h, 22 h
Live Speech Act Reenactment (part of the month of performance art)
“The Power of Word, Thinking, Love, and Anger in Relation to Site, Political Action, and Utopia“ An der Kreuzung Randolph und Desplaines Street, dem Haymarket Square, wurden 1886 Kämpfe ausgetragen, aus welchen der 1. Mai als Festtag der Arbeiter hervorging. Es wurde um die Durchsetzung des Achtstundentages gekämpft. Die "Haymarket Riots" wurden blutig niedergeschlagen. „Made in America“ ist ein Titel aus dem von Jay-Z und Kanye West 2011 publizierten HipHop-Album „Watch the Throne“. Jay-Z gehört neben Warren Buffett zu den reichsten Männern der USA. Er ist afro-amerikanischer Herkunft, wuchs im Ghetto von Brooklyn NY auf und thematisiert mit seinem Kollegen Kanye West den Stolz, es in Amerika „geschafft“ zu haben. Der Titel „Made in America“ verkörpert die Widersprüchlichkeit des „American Dream“.
“... Word, Thinking, Love, and Anger in Relation to Site, Political Action, and Hope“ Linda Weiss hat in der Fotoarbeit "Sunset Bullet Time (Rockefeller Center NY) – To Think the Outside (Power)" die Problematik der politischen Handlungsfähigkeit formuliert, in welcher die Vereinnahmung politisch erkämpfter Errungenschaften seitens konservativer Kräfte und der zu überwindenden Frustration verhandelt wird. In der weiteren Fotoarbeit "Sunset Bullet Time (Lincoln Square Chicago) – Barack Obama (What I See in Lincoln's Eyes)" setzt sie ihre Forschung über den Ort in Bezug zu politischem Handeln fort. Deshalb verwendet sie hier die Matrix der Geschichte in Relation zur gegenwärtigen Politik als Metapher für den proklamierten Mut zur Hoffnung. Auf der Plattform des Dank-Haus-Chicago, am Lincoln Square gelegen, erstellt Linda Weiss „Shot by Shot“ ein Panorama. Die Bilder werden von ihr mit Zitaten aus dem Text "What I See in Lincoln's Eyes" von Barack Obama verknüpft.
“... Word, Thinking, and Anger in Relation to Economics, and Empowerment“ Anna Bromleys Performance: "Take a Dream on a Sunday“ thematisiert die Verwendung komödiantischer Vortragstechniken im Organisationsmanagement der Wirtschaft. Witz, Authentizität und Coolness sind diffuse und widersprüchliche Markenwerte im Wettbewerb um Aufträge und Positionen. Sie sollen unmittelbar und virtuos wirken, unterhaltsam sein sowie Begehren erzeugen. In einem etwa fünfzehnminütigen Speech Act Re-enactment wird untersucht, welche Verbindung das Komödiantische in Bezug auf Status, Hierarchie und Macht aufnimmt. "Take a Dream on a Sunday“ ist Teil einer Langzeituntersuchung über komödiantische Vortragspraktiken im Bereich der Wissensrepräsentation.
Linda Weiss studierte Freie Kunst in Nürnberg, Berlin (Freie Klasse) und Leipzig. Ihr Studium beendete sie 2006 mit dem MFA an der Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig. Linda Weiss wird in Moskau am Multimedia Art Museum und Haus der Fotografie Artist in Resident sein. Die Förderung erfolgt über den Internationalen Kulturaustausch der Berliner Senatskanzlei für Kulturelle Angelegenheiten.
Anna Bromley ist Künstlerin, Autorin und Sozialwissenschaftlerin. Ausgehend von affektiven Brüchen in empirischen Untersuchungsmethoden fragen ihre Speech Act Re-Enactments nach der wirklichkeitskonstituierenden Macht von Sprachhandlungen. Ihre Essays, szenischen Texte und visuellen Essays erschienen in internationalen Publikationen. Für ihre monatliche Radiosendung „Lautstrom“ lädt sie Initiatoren transdisziplinärer auditiver Projekte zu Künstlergesprächen ins Radiostudio „reboot fm" ein.

2010 Independents Liverpool Biennial
Subvertisements curated by Deena DeNaro

Operation Video Tag: the Quest for Semiotic Supremacy
DdB Media and Liverpool-based American artist Deena DeNaro-Bickerstaffe are curating a short programme of Subvertisements and Culture-Jamming actions called Operation Video Tag which will be shown during the Long Night of the Liverpool Biennial on 18th November, 2010.
Culture jamming entails transforming mass media to produce ironic or satirical commentary about itself, using the original medium’s communication method. Many culture jams are simply aimed at exposing questionable political assumptions behind commercial culture so that people can momentarily consider the branded environment in which they live.
In addition to Ms. DeNaro-Bickerstaffe’s film, Reverse the Wave, subvertisements from artists like Viki Eagle, Beto Shwafaty, as well as work from culture jamming veterans such as the Billboard Liberation Front and TradeMark G and the Evolution Control Committee.
From 6pm until midnight, these culture-jamming works will be projected on buildings and facades around Liverpool during the Long Night events scheduled for the Liverpool Biennial on 18th November. Operation Video Tag will target at least 5 high-profile Biennial locations during the night running it’s culture jamming programme on a short loop, showing each piece several times at each location.

On weekly markets we install market booths including a cinema and participatory artwork & exhibitions. Therefore we invite artists, or other professionals and wider public to cooperate with market crowds or staff, implementing public art projects or contributions for the market stall cinema. "Weekly world making" starts from worlds already on hand; the making is a remaking. The market research institution Lichtenberg visits and illustrates distinctions of taste and ideas of peoples self image as keepers, owners, givers and takers, and taps their perception within shopping rituals or their refusals.

In her work “Sunset Bullet Time (Rockefeller Center NY) - To Think the Outside (Power)” the artist Linda Weiss treats the essay “To Think the Outside (Power)” (Gilles Deleuze, Foucault) like an editor and “cuts” 35 quotations from the text. They are combined with a panoramic sweep taken on top of Rockefeller Center.
Hereby the matrix of economy is used as a metaphor for the thought of power. While in this piece the icon of economy in the 1930s, John D. Rockefeller, is the starting point. “Shot by Shot” compiles a panorama. The camera’s track along the Empire State Building and the still-under-construction Bank of America Tower among other buildings creates an architectonical relationship with today’s economy and its orders.
The title of the exhibition “TO THINK THE OUTSIDE” is taken from the text video “TO BE IN THE CITY”, which lists a woman’s one hundred thoughts on Paris's and New York’s screen, architecture, political action and on love. Therein lies the question whether it is possible to take an outside view from within a structure. The peripheral perspective is realized by the acting “Woman with the Camera” by doing a “Shot by Shot” version from the center to the outside. It takes up the metaphor of the panopticon which stands for the “dispositive of power”.
The need for the artist to topicalize the “outside of structure” sprang from the question in how far involvement in relations of power and production and the integration into existing structures creates a state of helplessness towards that structure. “To Think the Outside” clarifies that thought can only be related to time and to a concrete situation (the inside). The idea of the text changes the outlook on the speaking/thinking/acting relationship.
The video “TO BE IN THE CITY” will also be shown in the film program “stadt land film” at Kino Arsenal 2 Berlin on May 11 at 5 pm. The film program was set up in concordance with the seminar of the same name at University of Arts Berlin by Madeleine Bernstorff.
The creation of this work was made possible by a grant through the International Studio & Curatorial Program New York by “Kulturstiftung des Freistaates Sachsen” (www.kdfs.de).

About BERLINERPOOL:
Art is a field of work with an insufficient infrastructure compared to other "sectors".
We diagnose especially in the field of communication a deficit of infrastructure. For this reason berlinerpool started to work in this field. We build an archive of portfolios and catalogs, present artists to curators and galleries, introduce art supporting programs to artists and publish their event news on our internet platform mondaynews.net.
Long term aim of berlinerpool is to supply artists (and art initiatives) with an infrastructure to provide facilities such as connections, consulting, fundraising, project management, public relations. Briefly: a multifunctional agency that undertakes all the tasks other than "creative production". This will give the opportunity to artists to invest all their energy to creative production.

The Art of Speculation
Curator: Justin Hoffmann
Künstler: Jekatarina Anzupowa, Hubert Blanz, Harun Farocki, Samantha Rees, Lars-Andreas Tovey Kristiansen, Max Müller, John Pilson, Linda Weiss
The exhibition "The Art of Speculation" picks the different levels of meaning of the term speculation as its central topic. The title is in reference to Philip Carret's 1930 book of the same name which is considered a classic of economics. Speculations in the form of utopias have accrued a bad name through the economic and humanitarian catastrophes they evoked especially when made official policy. Nevertheless, there is no reason for artists to relinquish voicing their wishes and desires totally. Wishing and desire remain an essential part of human existence. Fiction is necessary for research and science, or as Charles Darwin put it: " Without speculation there is no new observation."
The international group exhibition The Art of Speculation together with events in cultural theory, literature, film and performance is part of Kunstverein Wolfsburg's contribution to Phaenomenale 2010, which the Kunstverein has been organizing in cooperation with the Kulturbüro der Stadt Wolfsburg and Science Center phaeno since 2007. Its motto this year is "Risk Unlimited? Speculation as scientific, economical and cultural practise". For more information see: www.phaenomenale.com
